  1. Re: The cranky thread Monday-Sick Tuesday-Stomach Cramps Wednesday-Fever Thursday-Chills Friday-Funeral (not mine) So, there's a bright side...
  2. Re: "Neat" Pictures Like most of the "Poe" movies, they seldom have much resemblance to the source. But the ones with Vincent Price rock my face off my face. This one is the best.
  3. Re: "Neat" Pictures Nor did the Trojan War have a happy ending!
  4. Re: "Neat" Pictures "This week's contestants will be sleeping at Hotel Rue Morgue. Who wants to meet me for breakfast? Ah. ah. ah. Not so fast room number 3!"

  6. Re: "Neat" Pictures Heh. Usher. I see what you did there.
  7. Re: Women of the Champions Universe (Fanpictorial) I woman has the right to keep her hairstyle in keeping with the times. The dress, however, has come in and out of style twice and looks very close to what Misty Knight used to wear in "Iron Fist"
  8. Re: Ranged weapon reload times The clockwork setting is a natural for crossbows -- but they'd be super keen crossbows and I'd give them the same rate of fire as the longarms, because a magical/steamy clockwork windlass/cocking mechanism would make them faster. Then I'd just scale the damage. If people are running around in Silly Iron Suits™ then I'd give crossbows Armor Piercing and Penetrating/AP on the guns. That's assuming you want to simulate what guns will do versus Crossbows. It's not perfect, but it beats a guy in 8 PD plate bouncing bullets and quarrels. That may be farther afield than you wanted to go, but there it is!
  9. Re: Who are the copies/pastiches/tributes/captain ersatz in your campaigns? Nicely (and humorously) done. I played the same little game with the Ordinary People Enhanced by Radioactive Animals (OPERA) and a league of *Insert Name of Animal* -Man for a comedy campaign I ran.

  11. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I was a huge help. I bought them and they also had the entire Batman: The Animated Series marked way down. So I bought them too!
  12. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? It's the only movie where I laugh before the punchlines.
  13. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Excellent. I'll get them a watch them with my grandson
  14. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Damn your eyes!
  15. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? *chorus* Vhat?!
  16. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? You're making me want to watch Frankenstein Jr
  17. Re: Ranged weapon reload times My personal experience concurs with Sean's research. My dad is an excellent archer and could accurately fire a recurve at around one arrow every 5 seconds. At my best I fired one arrow every 7-8 seconds. My civil war reenactor friends can put an accurate round down range at a top speed of 4-5 rounds a minute when kitted out for maximum efficiency. My revolutionary war reenactors average 3 per minute at best.
  18. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I'm noticing a pattern. Did you happen upon a huge collection of classic Hannah Barbera cartoons?
